Hi All,
I have developed an application(*mainApp*) which contains an another
application (*helperApp*-*which shud run with root privilege*) inside its
resources.Now while building the package i have made it relocatable. And
actually the helper application needs the root permissions for launching so
i have set its SID and GID bit also before building the
package.Everythingworks fine when i install the application at
location /Applications (or any
root folders) but when i install the application at location like
/Users/movies (or any location that is in users folder) then the helperApp
doesnt run with root privilege . Actually i am using a *postflight
script*for launching the helperApp and the data inside it is as
follows:
=========
#!/bin/sh


"$2/mainApp.app/Contents/Resources/helperApp.app/Contents/MacOS/ helperApp"&

exit 0
=========
"$2" is for current location of the mainApp and "&" is for background
process (as my helperApp is background process)
One more clue i wud give u may be it helps u in understanding my problem:
While making the package i give the permissions as USER=root and GROUP=admin
but when i install the application at a location other then root like
/Users/Movies..then the permissions are not USER=system and group = admin
but they are USER=user_name and group = admin.
Sorry for such a long query but i had to write it .
